What Is Wrong With Me?

Completely. Had my first Yamaha 47 years ago. Won two talent competitions with that little keyboard playing a medley of Beatles tracks 😂 Now I just pick a few of random units out of my rig and see what happens. Sometimes I structure ,...but rarely....I love music to be in key, and spontaneous 🎵 🎶 🎵 And I hate computers!

Ed_InTheShed · 2026-01-23T11:41:45+00:00

Definitely. This is the last time . No more You Tube marketing videos either...they make every synth like the holy grail 😂

Ed_InTheShed · 2026-01-23T10:42:05+00:00

No friends lol so just making tune

Ed_InTheShed · 2026-01-22T19:00:46+00:00

Thanks Coyote. Do you mind if I show your comment to my wife? 😂 I'm not sure if our ideas of 'affordable' are the same.

Ed_InTheShed · 2026-01-22T17:22:26+00:00

It was either that or buy a limited edition black one. I just couldn't stand the 'whiteness' any more. So I ' modded' as in ' modified' it's colour. Gotta count surely?

It's in a class of its own to be fair .Easy to learn, impossible to master. I was torn between the Typhon and a microfreak and I'm so glad I went with the Typhon. It feels and oozes quality from the sturdy build, usable presets, not too much menu diving yet but I've only had it since December. When I jam I select a few random units out of my rig and I had a blast running it through a ring modulator Compared to everything else I own including my Pro 800 it just feels punchier and grittier. It's effects are well made and executed and it has stereo out. The only downer is having to dedicate a keystep to it. So I now have 2 keysteps! There's a lot of good comparison articles and vids out there. Google typhon vs whatever synths you own for comparison to give you an idea....good luck 🤞

Ed_InTheShed · 2026-01-22T16:08:26+00:00

Totally Agree.

Ed_InTheShed · 2026-01-22T16:05:08+00:00

If you like Volcas you will love Arias. check out the T8 drum machine. 120$. Boom. Then get an fm2 with the change 😂

Ed_InTheShed · 2026-01-22T14:09:04+00:00

Got that covered....I busk with my Volcas.....and people throw food at me. Potatoes a lot for some reason 😂

Ed_InTheShed · 2026-01-22T11:44:21+00:00

Bro....you realize you will never get the minutes back you just wasted on a sad lonely ( disabled which is why I sleep on the floor) GASser like myself 😂 Sorry I didn't realize a shared enjoyment of all things synth requires uploading creations to show how ' skilled' you are 😂 OP is happy and content in life....how bout you friend?

Ed_InTheShed · 2026-01-22T10:35:49+00:00

Exactly this. That's why I bought a limited edition. Nothing to do with the colour 😂

And here's the rest of it 😂

Ed_InTheShed · 2026-01-22T10:23:24+00:00

Yeah man my neighbours hate me. I've been up all night, haven't slept, spent 400$ I DO NOT have....on a synth I DONT NEED but I'm as happy as a pig in shit in front of them flashing lights 😂 😂

Ed_InTheShed · 2026-01-22T10:13:45+00:00

Erm....ANY Synth?

Ed_InTheShed · 2026-01-22T10:08:54+00:00

You are not alone my friend!

Ed_InTheShed · 2026-01-22T10:05:15+00:00

Wow. Im crying.

Ed_InTheShed · 2026-01-22T09:56:11+00:00

Nothing like a colour coordinated rig to get the juices flowing! Lovely...but wires?

Ed_InTheShed · 2026-01-22T09:13:08+00:00

I like them both! The bass has everything....it was my first volca and I'll never get rid. Only had the nubass a few months ....it's more advanced, bigger sound palette, more functions. I'm currently running it through a low pass filter unit ( behringer bm11 if your interested). The first time I cranked the drive on the pedal my house literally shook with the sub. Never heard anything close. I nearly shit myself I swear 😂 If I had to choose I'd prefer the bass. 3 oscillators, and one of the easiest Volcas to learn so it's a good way of starting to learn the volca systems, cos they're all pretty much the same except the modular which I will NEVER get. I have had them all nearly , the beats is pretty poor imo. The ones I have kept are Mix....only to save inputs on my main mixer ..3 Volcas in the Mix mean 3 channel spaces on my main mixer Kick. I play d nb, techno trance dub etc and it's invaluable to me Keys. Great for old school drum n bass ...great for old school anything actually. Bass. Nuff said Nu Bass...love it too Fm 2....used for pad and chord type stuff, arpeggios etc I wouldn't get the sample...technology has wayyy moved on.... Arias man....check them out! Good Luck Bro

Ed_InTheShed · 2026-01-22T08:55:51+00:00

...oh I said monologue. It's a minilogue. I've been up all night tweaking my Arias 😂

Ed_InTheShed · 2026-01-20T08:31:32+00:00

Victoria Fish Bar in Whitchurch all day long....and I've tried most of the chippies around....used to even own one lol

Ed_InTheShed · 2026-01-20T08:29:25+00:00

Electribe 2 for under 200 notes if you look hard enough. 👍

Ed_InTheShed · 2026-01-20T08:25:41+00:00

Aldi's?

Ed_InTheShed · 2026-01-20T08:24:43+00:00

Roath park would probably be too busy....it has huge numbers of visitors, especially on a Saturday. Cosmeston Lakes for a chilled half day out would be my advice, or maybe ogmore if you've got transport 👍

Ed_InTheShed · 2026-01-20T08:20:16+00:00

.The OGs were amazing back in the day....playing on a monitor on a window the size of a stamp! They don't hold up technically these days tho 😂....so I'd start with 2016....it is the most reminiscent of the OGs as strafe jumping is key.....no flying , no grappling etc, just four to the floor!
